About

The emphasis of Film and Television Production course at University of Wolverhampton is firmly on practical film-making and television production work, underpinned with contextual theory throughout, engaging with contemporary issues and emerging trends in film and television production, as well as established film/television theories and practices.

The course culminates in the Masters Project, where you will be the key creative leader of a film or television production, taking on the role of producer or director.

Why Wolverhampton?

The course is taught in the School of Media, which houses a three-camera live television studio, fifteen editing suites with Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro X and other professional software packages, and a sound-recording/foley production suite. It also has an equipment store from which you can borrow all the camera, sound, lighting and other equipment you need to produce your work.

What skills will you gain?

The skills you gain fall into three areas. First, there are the creative and technical skills that are essential for film-making: script writing, camera, lighting, sound, editing. Second, there are skills related to directing a film and managing a production. Third, there are academic skills which relate mainly to research, communication and presentation.

Career path

The course will be useful for anyone seeking to advance their career in media production, arts/media management, or other leadership roles in related creative industries. In media production, this may involve developing your career in specialist areas such as directing, producing, editing or cinematography.

Accreditation

We are currently working towards accreditation from Creative Skillset.

Programme Structure

What happens on the course?

In a typical week, a full-time student on this course will have up to ten hours of class time which will be a mixture of lectures, seminars, tutorials and practical workshop sessions. Most course modules will blend these different teaching methods within a given timetabled session, so there will be plenty of variety.

In lectures, you will typically be given ‘food for thought’ in relation to your own project ideas. In workshop sessions you will get to practice film-making techniques related to your own project work needs.

Opportunities:

The course is built upon negotiated production work, which means you get to propose and develop your own ideas for film and television. The teaching staff are experienced with production across documentary, drama and social action production, and will guide you according to your ambitions, skills and needs.
